Payton could skate out of New Orleans all the way to Dallas

Sean Payton is smarter than I thought, and I thought he was plenty smart. Before his suspension he helped the Saints pick his coaching replacement for the 2012 season, and he screwed up the process so much that the Saints went into the dumper. This isn't hindsight, either. I saw it happening in April, and wrote about it then.

But Payton is smarter even than that. He has manipulated events so thoroughly that a return to the Saints as the conquering hero, which looked to be his end game back in April, has become an afterthought. It could still happen, sure -- but that has become the least of his options.

Unless Roger Goodell pulls another Roger Goodell and smites Sean Payton for the hell of it, Payton is about to become the most coveted, most expensive free agent coach in NFL history.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, while voting in the U.S. Preidential election Tuesday, entered the name, “Roger Goodell” as an official write-in candidate, it was reported Tuesday.

“Just as a joke, of course,” said Goodell moments after leaving the voting booth. “I’m not seriously suggesting that voters all over the nation who want a President that would bring discipline, structure, and a firm ruling hand to the Oval Office should write in my name on their ballot. Although if they WERE to elect me in a shocking and historic write-in landslide, well, who would I be to deny the will of the people, right?”

Sources close to the commissioner confirmed that, if elected, the write-in President would appoint former commissioner Paul Tagliabue as his Vice President, appoint a cabinet comprised of current NFL owners Jerry Jones, Dan Snyder and Robert Kraft, and name New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton as public enemy #1 and immediately banish him without trial to a maximum security Federal Penitentiary until such time as a formal appeals commission, comprised solely of Goodell himself, saw fit to lift the sentence.

Honestly I don't think Sean is the type of guy to walk away especially after the season we hare having. He will want to come back and contend for another super bowl. Another thing why would he choose Romo over Brees? It's just chatter and it doesn't mean a thing. As long as Brees is with the Saints, there will be Sean Payton.

I am guessing some people have forgotten that "Loyalty" doesn't factor into players or coaches' minds when it comes to MONEY. Drews loyalty goes as far as his paycheck. As with all the other players and coaches.

THEY ARE NOT FANS. THEY ARE EMPLOYEES.

And they are ALWAYS looking for the better deal.

There are probably MORE teams that would want Brees as their QB than would want SP as HC!

Brees could have told the Saints he was going to the highest bidder and thanks for the memories!

I do think that Payton will ultimately re-sign with the Saints because of his relationship with Brees!
